Brenton Wood
's first LP for
Double Shot
records (or anybody, for that matter), it followed fast on the heels of his chart smash
"The Oogum Boogum Song,"
an infectious ditty where
Wood
's elastic, charming vocals made you overlook the songs'
Mickey Mouse
production. As enticing is
's sincere delivery of
"I Think You Got Your Fools Mixed Up."
Also featured are a rendition of
Count Five
's (labelmates)
"Psychotic Reactions"
and his follow-up chartbuster
"Gimme a Little Sign."
A simplistic but arresting -- due solely to
's unpredictable vocalizing -- album. But at 23 minutes total running time, it's over before you can get your groove on. Out of print, but the best cuts are available on various best-of
CDs. ~ Andrew Hamilton
